Laura Francis

I am currently teaching face-to-face in a private English language school in Segovia, Spain.
I recently completed a TEFL 120 hour teaching course and have loved every minute of my teaching experience since. I teach an array of different levels, from early words to professional exam preparation via Cambridge. I plan my lessons depending on the topics according to a suitable textbook, however, I place crucial emphasis on playfulness spontaneity. I believe to learn a language one's mind must be present and stimulated, and thus, I prioritise making my classes enjoyable for one to be able to find such motivation. This sometimes means that I follow the student's whimsical musings on the content. I am flexible, meaning I can adapt to each individual student's needs - whether that is a casual lesson every now and then or a weekly set time. I can offer basic conversation practice for fluency or take a more focused approach on an area a student may find difficult. I believe in building a relationship of trust with my student so they can believe in themselves that they will succeed!
